Hopefully the garage will be bigger than that one? That's a tight packed space, I like the insulation on the floor too!

I went from a oversized attached 4 car, to a oversized 3 car, to an oversized 2 car, to a now 2 car. With the situation with my wife's eyes she no longer drives. I went from 4 cars, to our Durango and the coronet. I have no desire to restore cars anymore. Everything from the drywall out, as far as the house goes, is taken care of by the development, so no yard equipment is needed, it works out fine, tool boxes and two cars. Time catches up with everyone eventually.

I have three classic cars. Yes, I want more but have limited space. Having said that, I am realizing that each one of these cars takes space, time and money to maintain. I probably need to realize that three is my limit, and likely, as you have done, reduce that number as I get older.

But until I come to my senses, full speed ahead!!!

I'm very glad for you and proud, which means nothing coming from me, but to go through life with everything that comes with it and still have the resources to have cars, space and time to do it all speaks volumes to the person you are and the world you have commanded to make it all happen. Age is only a number and I hope for all of us to make a joke out of those numbers as we blow by them!!! Let The Horses Run!!!

Thanks. The wife, kids, house and important obligations have always come first. As much as I enjoy these old cars, they are a hobby and are not a necessity. But I have been fortunate to be able to fulfil all my obligations and have some fun with the cars. It also helps to have a supportive and understanding wife!

How many grim reaper costumes do you have to go along with all the sickles?

I finally got around to getting a frame and hanging this...
It's original and I've had it for over 20 years.

Thats a nice place to check your tires.....

Not a great picture because the garage is a bit full currently, but the best that I have at the moment...

I do not own this piece of wall art: FBBO owns it. I am merely the caretaker until next year when we do even better!!!
(Thanks to all the FABO, FBBO, FCBO and FEBO members who registered their cars!)

I have or had about 2/3 of your Micronaut collection plus a few others.

Looks like you've got all or almost all of the first series there, from what 1977-78?

Space Gilder? Biotron?

The white guy on the second shelf had a horse, and there was a black guy with a black horse. magnet ball joints?

They had quite the run going before Star Wars figures eventually put them to bed.

I have issues 1 and 2 of the comic book.

Yes the 2 magno figures could combine with the horses. I have almost all of them The hard ones to find are the large cities and such. Very rarely do they come up for sale complete. I do have the complete comic series. It was one of my favorites as a kid.

I got into Micronauts right before they got popular, IIRC right after Star Wars came out.
There weren't many different ones and they were kind of hard to find.
About a year later, they were everywhere and they kept adding more and more, and larger and larger stuff.

Adding more every day
